Because strength and stiffness matters.

The SM-10RE is the forged Enduro version of our popular SM-10 design. It features our highest load rating and our strongest lip, allowing it to withstand abuse, lap after lap.

SM-10RE Highlights

  • Fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum
  • Stronger 2100 lb. load rating
  • Stiffer side-milled spokes
  • Heavy-duty Enduro Spec inner lip
  • Capless hub design to reduce weight
  • Massive brake clearance
  • Unmatched replacement program
  • Lifetime structural warranty
  • Independently tested

The Enduro Line SM-10RE is our most recent iteration of our ten spoke wheel design, reworked from the ground up with a major emphasis on strength. Because most enthusiasts need more strength and not less, we created the SM-10RE to give buyers the option to choose what’s best for their needs.

Retaining the same ten spoke layout seen on the Flow Formed SM-10 and ultra light Forged SM-10RS, the all new Forged SM-10RE gets dramatically thicker spokes, our thickest ever Enduro Spec inner lip, and a fully redesigned and reinforced outer lip. All said and done, the SM-10RE is rated at an impressive 2100 lb max load, a five-hundred pound increase over the lightweight SM-10RS. These fortifying measures have been countered with a number of unique weight saving features as well. Just like the Sprint Line Forged Wheels, the Enduro Line SM-10RE sports deep spoke scalloping intended to carve away excess material without decreasing strength or stiffness. Going a step further, the SM-10RE does away with the center cap support, the outer barrel remains unpainted showcasing a beautiful raw aluminum, and outer lip pocketing is present between the spokes (an Apex first!). All together these weight saving features result in a wheel that is shockingly light considering its impressive stiffness and load rating.

The SM-10RE is significantly stronger and stiffer compared to both its Sprint Line and Flow Formed counterpart, and even more so than most competitors. The intention is for the Enduro SM-10RE to become the new de-facto wheel of choice for track day enthusiasts and racers looking for a ten spoke wheel design.

VS-5RE Features

Our Strongest Wheels
Most motorsport wheel designs prioritize reducing weight over increasing strength, but some applications require extra strength. High grip tires and lots of downforce put extra strain on wheels. Pair that with a faster driver and regular load ratings are not enough. The VS-5RE is about 30% stronger than the RS version.

  • Sprint Line - 18.61600
  • Enduro Line - 21.12100

Stiffer Spokes

Wheel stiffness matters but it gets overlooked and undiscussed. The redesigned spokes of the VS-5RE are about 25% stiffer than the Sprint Line version. Stiffer spokes help reduce camber loss, which reduces outer edge tire wear and improves feel and responsiveness.

Toughest Inner Lip

Introducing the Enduro spec inner lip - our strongest ever. With 50% more reinforcement, these wheels are better-protected against the harsh conditions found on and off track.

50%

More reinforcement than a standard inner lip

Reinforced Front Lip

We added extra material in the front lip for more durability so you can keep attacking those berms. You can easily spot the beefed up design of an Enduro lip vs. the lightweight lip on a Sprint Line wheel.

10K Tons of Pressure

To make our forged wheels the strongest we can, we applied as much pressure as possible using a 10,000 ton forge. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
True-Motorsport-Blanks-Apex-Wheels

True Motorsport Blanks

Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.

Side-Milled Spokes

One of the most prominent features of the VS-5RE is the extra wide and deep side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is carved out using a precision CNC ball cutter. This allows our endurance wheels to be surprisingly light for their strength. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise we believe it's essential.

Weight Optimized

We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a significantly stronger wheel with a minimal weight penalty over their RS counterparts.

Independently Tested

We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. Our Enduro Line wheels are independently tested by ITS at their Michigan facility following JWL standards but pushed to much higher loads and much longer durations.

Big Brake Clearance

From day one, Apex has been on a mission to build wheels that clear big brakes. These Enduro Line wheels are the product of everything we’ve developed over the past 15+ years. We utilize 3D scans to produce vehicle-specific spoke profiles, and our wheels feature an innovative high-clearance barrel design.

Deeper Concavity

Our new forgings were redesigned to create extra deep, concave spoke profiles. Their new shape allows us to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between, each optimized for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.

Paintless Knurled Bead

Whether it’s a day at the track or months of street driving, repeated hard braking and acceleration can make a tire slip along the bead seat and go out of balance, causing vibration. Knurled beads help, but are less effective when painted over. Our forged line features unpainted knurled beads that stay sharp and maximize grip.

Paintless Barrel

To be as light as possible, and to reduce rotational inertia, we removed paint from the outer barrel. It’s only a fraction of a pound but it’s in an area that has the biggest impact on acceleration and deceleration, so it packs a bigger punch vs. the same weight savings near the center of the wheel. These small tweaks add up.

Capless Hub Design

We know most track day organizations ask for center caps to be removed. To further reduce weight that doesn’t directly correlate to strength, we incorporated a capless hub design on all Enduro Line wheels in our pursuit of Real Performance.

Built for Impact Sockets

Track wheels need track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.

Socket Diameter Clearance

Outer Lip Pocketing

A lot of areas get extra thick when the load rating is raised to 2100 lb. By CNC machining ‘pockets’ between each spoke, our Engineers were able to further reduce weight from an area that has a high impact on rotational inertia.

Laser-Engraved Specs

As track enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily marked on a wheel or become unreadable over time. Our Enduro wheels have laser-engraved specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read.
